Angela Merkel has called for a burqa ban in Germany and said the refugee crisis “must never be repeated” while making her pitch for a fourth term as Chancellor. Ms Merkel said she would support a nationwide prohibition on Islamic veils covering the face.

“The full-face is not acceptable in our country,” she told delegates in Essen, “It should be banned, wherever it is legally possible.”

You know it must be bad when even Merkel abandons her globalist ideals in an effort to save face. The important part to note here is that Merkel suddenly feels pressured to answer to her people now. If we rewind to just a year ago, she gave precisely zero schnitzels about national security. Today tells a different story.

It appears Germany is no longer enchanted by the whims of open borders. When the migrant crisis was still in its baby stages, there were hashtags (#RefugeesWelcome) and migrant camps a plenty. A few rapestorms and terrorist attacks later, Germans are ready for change.

Can you blame them? Nein. Living with bomb-vested, sexist ogres is the pits. Just ask Toni Bugle…
